[QUOTE="Johnny, post: 374083, member: 13599"] in [b]FLORIDA[/b], I bought a 1236 Jon with a Bill of Sale only from the seller. Just got back from my DMV Tag Office...... I had a Florida Bill of Sale (not notarized) from the seller. Only "guessed" it was a Sears model. late '50s era, so I put 1958 as the year. Also, filled out the [b]Application For Title[/b] from Florida online forms. guess wot - - - nooooooo problem !! the DMV computer automatically issues a Hull Identification Number. So now, I have [i]LEGAL[/i] registration numbers, a legal HIN, and a TITLE !!! I have passed on sooooo many good deals on tin boats the past year all because of no paperwork on the sellers part. The one that really sticks in my craw was a 1653 semi-V flat bottom Jon from the '60s era. Very heavy duty, really good shape, for $300.00. (with no title) I guess the moral of my experience is to check with your DMV and see what paperwork you need to legally register a tin boat with no documentation in your state. I have heard some states are fairly easy yet others are a nightmare. In my case today, Florida is very easy to get a registration as well as a title on an old Tin. [/QUOTE]
